Ranatunga doesn’t watch Lanka matches anymore

COLOMBO: Former Sri Lanka skipper Arjuna Ranatunga on Wednesday lambasted the country’s cricket leaders and said he had stopped watching the ailing national team. Ranatunga, 53, said he was also disillusioned with the government of which he is a minister because it failed to protect the game. “Frankly, I don’t watch cricket anymore,” Ranatunga. “I am disappointed about cricket since the last elections,” he said. Ranatunga and his brother stood for the top two posts on the Sri Lankan cricket board in January last year but were easily beaten by Thilanga Sumathipala and his team.
